Description:
Sometimes the dead do rise…
Dante Malcolm is a man of refined tastes. He was once a part of Britain’s Elite Intelligence Force, but there was a reason he’d never been able to capture Simon Locke, the notorious thief who always seemed to be one step ahead. That’s because Dante and Simon were one and the same, until Dante’s double life eventually caught up with him and now he belongs to the Gravediggers.
Liv Rothschild is a Detective Inspector with Interpol and is the one responsible for catching MI-6’s most notorious agent in his final heist—except the heist killed him. But something has never felt right about his death, and it’s haunted her for months. It was too easy, and Dante Malcolm was too smart to go down that way.
Dante might belong to the Gravediggers in body, but his heart and soul will always belong to the next job. The rest of the team doesn’t know about his alter ego because he made sure the information went missing from his file. So when the job he’s always waited for seems like a possibility, he sneaks out of the country like a thief in the night, only to run into the only woman who’s ever been able to match him in wit—and passion—for the job. Except they’re standing on opposite sides of the law—and only one of them can walk away with the prize.
Review:
Say No More by Liliana Hart is the 3rd book in her Gravediggers series. Liliana Hart once again gives us another wonderful exciting, fun, action filled and hot story line revolving around the Gravediggers we have come to love. Brief refresher: The Gravediggers are elite former military men that work at a funeral home as a cover, and are in actuality working for a secret government agency that takes on impossible missions.
In Say No More, Dante Malcom is our hero, and we learn so much about his past life and why Eve picked him to be part of the Gravediggers. Liv Rothschild, our heroine, was an awesome heroine; she is the best one yet, and believe me when I say the first two heroines were great. But Liv was fantastic, being an Interpol agent, beautiful, savvy, smart and someone who can stand up to even the best Gravediggers.
Before Dante became a Gravedigger, he was a con artist thief, who had multiple identities and was Liv’s partner on Britain’s Elite Intelligence Force; their mission was to find the elusive thief, Simon Locke. Besides being partners, Dante and Liv are also lovers.
When Eve Winter (the head of the Gravediggers) visits Dante at a party with Liv, she convinces him to accept her offer to join the Gravediggers (or he will end up in jail), since she knows everything, including that he is truly Simon Locke. Before the night is out, Simon lays dead (he isn’t really dead, as all the Gravediggers are technically dead, as a serum makes them appear dead, and then they are revived), and Liv is shocked to find out he was Simon Locke. She will have to prove her innocence, and despite her broken heart, will eventually join Interpol, as one of their best agents.
What follows is a terrific story with Eve sending Dante to Europe to steal a stolen document that has dangerous codes that will release nuclear weapons. Liv is on another assignment to find a powerful man behind child slavery, and is determined to stop him. Both will end up in the same place, with Liv in total shock seeing her dead lover alive. The Gravedigger team will help Dante, and Liv will eventually also help in the dangerous mission to save the children, as well as find the codes.
I loved Dante and Liv together, as they were so great, not to mention their sizzling chemistry. I hope to see more of them in the future books. This was an enjoyable, exciting story, great characters, especially those we met in earlier books, a wonderful couple and a sexy romance. Liliana Hart once again gives us a fun filled, action packed, and fast paced story that had me unable to put the book down. I suggest you start this series by reading in the correct order to fully understand the background of this series: The Darkest Corner, Gone to Dust and now Say No More.
